C&S BIO 100
Data Science and Statistics for Life Scientists
Lecture and discussion. The registrar has published a final exam time.
Fall 2026: 1 lecture and 2 discussions. All of them are open. The oldest of these readings was 34 minutes ago.
Grades
Grade records describe outcomes. For what a course is like to take, read student reviews written on dibs below or follow the separate external review link.
Workload and assignments
Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.
dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 3 courses long before C&S BIO 100. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for LIFESCI 30B, LIFESCI 40, MATH 3B, and MATH 3C, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
From the registrar's catalog
Lecture, two hours; laboratory, two hours. Requisites: Computer Science 31 or Program in Computing 10A; Life Sciences 30A and 30B, or Mathematics 3A, 3B, and 3C, or 31A, 31B, and 32A; Life Sciences 40 or Psychology 100A or Statistics 10 or 13. Modern statistics and data science study that builds competency in computational data modeling and analysis. Designed for Computational and Systems Biology majors. Interdisciplinary topics integrate data-driven statistical and computational modeling, and resampling methods for understanding and modeling data. Key topics include advanced data visualization, simple linear regression, clustering, classification, and dimensionality reduction techniques, the same principles and techniques that are the building blocks of machine learning. Study is modular, with opportunities for peer collaboration and proposal writing components. Acquired knowledge and skills may immediately be applied in research or industry settings. P/NP or letter grading.
Sections in Fall 2026
You enroll in the discussion, not the lecture, so a discussion's status is the one that decides whether you get in. A lecture can read open while every discussion under it is full.
Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 4 readings. Seat readings are snapshots, not live availability. Their timestamps show when dibs last checked.

Student reviews
What taking C&S BIO 100 was like: the work, the teaching, and what students wish they’d known.
Your experience could be the first.
No student reviews are available to read on dibs for this course yet. Took it? Tell the next person what helped, what was hard, and how you spent your time.

External reviews are separate and do not count toward the dibs rating.
Seats over time in Fall 2026
How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it.
A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist.
What a flat run means, and where a line starts
Flat between dots means it did not drift, it held and then jumped, and a line starts when dibs first saw that lecture rather than reaching back before it existed. A lecture that has never moved draws a flat line across the whole window, and one with two or three readings draws a line joining them, which is too few to read a trend from.

How readings and alerts work
A reading and an hourly record are different things, and most charts here hold more of the second missing than present. dibs has taken readings of a section since long before it began keeping an hour-by-hour log of when it looked, so the empty stretches are dibs saying it was not keeping that log yet, not that it looked and found nothing. That is the age of the record and not a fault.
Seat counts show the last successful read, not live availability. Refreshes can be delayed by request limits or upstream interruptions. Watched sections receive priority, but an hourly update for every section is not guaranteed.
The registrar can change a seat count between our checks. Alerts depend on dibs detecting an opening and completing delivery; a quiet watch does not prove that no seat opened. Check the registrar before enrolling.
